Working in Calgary

Tree care from a certified arborist

A lot of Calgary tree work happens in established yards, with mature trees close to houses, garages, fences and neighbours and the only access through a side gate. Those jobs call for climbing and sectional work rather than felling, and for a crew that leaves the yard clean.

Reviews from Calgary area customers include a 40+ year old evergreen with a steep lean and a diseased poplar removed from a SW Calgary property, and a diseased towering aspen cut down in a backyard. Estimates across the city are free with no obligation.

What customers say about Marek

5.0 stars on Google.

Silver Fern Tree's services provided by owner Marek was absolutely exceptional. A large 40+ year old evergreen with a steep lean (technically challenging!) and a diseased poplar were removed and cleaned up from my SW Calgary property.

I got a few quotes from a number of arborists around Calgary to cut down a diseased towering aspen in our backyard but I went with Silver Fern because the owner-operator, Marek, was incredibly friendly, straightforward and reasonable.

Questions

Common questions from Calgary

Do you work in Calgary?

Yes. Silver Fern is based in Cochrane, just west of the city, and works across Calgary. Reviews include tree removals from a SW Calgary property and a backyard aspen in the Calgary area. Estimates are free with no obligation, so call or send the form with your address and a description of the tree.

Do I need a permit to prune or remove a tree in Calgary?

Trees on your own property generally do not need a City permit to prune or remove. Public trees, including most boulevard trees, belong to the City of Calgary and are protected by its Tree Protection Bylaw, so they cannot be pruned or removed without City approval. Elms also fall under Alberta's April to September pruning ban.

Can you remove a tree from a tight Calgary backyard?

Yes. Many Calgary backyards have mature trees close to the house, garage, fences and neighbours, with access only through a side gate. Those trees are climbed and taken down in sections, with each piece lowered in a controlled way and carried out, to protect the house, fences and gardens below.
